Thanks to ‘the Economy’, Mets Lowering Ticket Prices

Right. It’s the economy, is why:

↵↵“The Mets are sensitive to the economic realities facing our fans and we have lowered our ticket prices in response to these challenging conditions,” Mets executive vice-president Dave Howard said. “This move underscores our appreciation of our fans’ ongoing loyalty and support.”

↵↵Surely this has nothing to do with, oh, I don’t know, the Mets being a remarkably disappointing, mediocre, and thoroughly unenjoyable team for much of 2009, right? Pshh … course not.
